CEOS-Committee-on-Earth-Observation-Satellites-Working-Group-on-Calibration-and-Validation.pdf
International collaboration on calibration and validation through the CalNal Working Group has been one of the signal successes of the CEOS organisation. The Working Group has created a mechanism for the sharing of effort in CALN AL between cooperating agencies, for the management of coherent programmes and campaigns and for the pooling of engineering and scientific information about the process of Earth observation through a variety of techniques. The success of the meeting of the SAR subgroup reported here is further evidence of the success of the coordinated approach adopted through CEOS.

Space-2020-Round-Table-synthesis-report.pdf
The Space 2020 Round Table, held on The Round Table on 28 and 29 June 1995 at ESTEC, was organised jointly by ESA's Technical Directorate and Associate Directorate for Strategy, Planning and International Policy, as an interactive workshop. The participants at the Round Table presented position papers for discussion in four selected areas of relevance to the Space 2020 study, covering potential for cost reduction, new services and potential synergies, trends in research and development and the role of ESA and international cooperation.
